[news.eclipse.tools] How can I use Eclipse as my "standard Java Editor"

["ub" <Udo.Borkowski@xxxxxx>]

How can I use Eclipse as my "standard Java Editor" (under Windows)?

I.e. I would like to doubleclick on a .java file in the Windows explorer and
the selected file should be opened in the (possibly already running) Eclipse
instance. Just changing the "File association" did not work.

In an extension to this: is it possible to open a file in Eclipse "from the
outside" and navigate to a certain line and/or select a certain portion of
text (i.e. is there some kind of "automation" facility) (Background: I have
an (external) tool that searches for certain things in Java files and when
found it displays them "in your favorite editor").

Thanks,

Udo
